Rethinking “China”
In recent decades, the question of what “China” (Zhongguo 中國) means—historically, culturally, and politically—has ceased to be self-evident. Once treated as a stable civilizational container or an

The Metaphysics of Chinese Historiography
This paper delves into the complex legacy of the Han dynasty’s collapse and its impact on subsequent Chinese historiography, particularly through the legitimacy or »zhengtong« debate. Examining how the Han’s cultural and political glory influenced historical narratives of later periods, the author compares the Han’s legacy with that of the Roman Empire in Europe, highlighting a similar quest for legitimacy by successor regimes. Central to his ana…

Middle-Class Education Anxiety in China
Truthful Is Moral
In recent years, efforts have been made to reevaluate the tradition of Chinese historical thought and writing. This article seeks to further these efforts and offer a new understanding of the characteristics of historical writing in traditional China. It argues that, at the level of practice, traditional Chinese historians, like their counterparts in the rest of the world, were deeply concerned with establishing and communicating facts in histori…

World History on a Par with Chinese History? China's Search for World Power in Three Stages
In 2011, the Department of Education in China made a policy change by elevating the study and teaching of world history to a first-class academic field. This article argues that this elevation reflects an unprecedented move by both the Chinese government and historical community to put world history on a par with Chinese history with regard to their importance as subjects of knowledge. It discusses the three periods where world history developed …

Rise of the Great Powers’=Rise of China? Challenges of the advancement of global history in the People's Republic of China
Ever since it was first broadcasted in 2006, the Rise of the Great Powers, a popular Chinese TV mini-series of 12 episodes, has received great attention both at home and abroad. Some have suggested that the showing of this series marked a new orientation in China's foreign policy and a new perception of its position in the world. Using oral interviews and written works by the historians who masterminded the project, this article analyzes the view…
Between Marxism and Nationalism
The Chinese practice of Marxist historical writing represents a dynamic interaction between nationalism and transnationalism. On the one hand, Chinese Marxists were attracted to the Soviet experience in applying Marxism to historical study, especially during the 1950s and the early 1960s, for the latter provided a seemingly much needed theoretical guidance. On the other hand, they attempted to circumscribe the Soviet influence in order to strike …

Is There a Chinese Mode of Historical Thinking? A Cross-cultural Analysis
Taking Chun-chieh Huang's ruminations on the defining character of Chinese historical thinking as a starting point, this essay discusses the ways in which historical cultures and traditions are compared and contrasted and explores some new ways of thinking. It argues that cultural comparisons often constitute two-way traffic (one begins to examine itself after encountering the other) and that attempts to characterize one historical culture, such …

History, Space, and Ethnicity
In writing this article, I attempt to answer two interrelated questions: ( i ) What was the Chinese perception of the world, or world history, before China came into close contact with the rest of the world in the nineteenth century? And (2) how did this perception affect the work of historians from the Han dynasty (206 b.c-a.d. 220) onward? Their interrelation is shown in that the former was not only reflected in the latter, but also, from time …
Inventing China through History
A critical examination of the rise of national history in early-twentieth-century China. This book describes the rise of national history in early-twentieth-century China. It studies the careers of a group of liberal historians including well-known figures such as Liang Qichao and Hu Shi and lesser known figures such as He Bingsong, Fu Sinian, Yao Congwu, and Chen Yinke. Buoyed by the quest for "Mr. Science" and "Mr. Democracy" during the May Fou…

Many Faces of Clio
Born in Germany, Georg Iggers escaped from Nazism to the United States in his adolescence where he became one of the most distinguished scholars of European intellectual history and the history of historiography. In his lectures, delivered all over the world, and in his numerous books, translated into many languages, Georg Iggers has reshaped historiography and indefatigably promoted cross-cultural dialogue. This volume reflects the profound impa…

Discovering History in Another China
I do not remember who has made the remark that “a way to tell if someone is aging is whether or not s/he likes reminiscing.” This can be true in a person as well as in an organization, for reminiscence comes from memory, and memory draws on experience. The year 2007 marked the 20th anniversary of our organization, Chinese Historians in the United States (CHUS), with which we all have had some experiences, even if the extent of which may vary mark…

Globalization, Global History and Local Identity in 'Greater China
I would like to start with by defining what I mean by "Greater China." It is a term used commonly in economics and investment communities around the world. It includes mainland China (hereafter China), Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (Singapore, given its sizable Chinese community, is often included), despite the uneasiness of some Taiwanese scholars about the concept. At a cultural level, "greater China" corresponds with the term "cultural China," c…

Remembering the Past; Reconciling for the Future
Since the late 18th century, history-writing has been integrated into the process of nation-building. As of today, not only is history written mainly within the parameters of nation-states, it also plays an instrumental role in fostering and characterizing the national ethos. In modern East Asia, this close relationship between history-writing and nationalist endeavor manifests itself on yet another level — it also drew on the long tradition of o…

Globalization, Global History and Local Identity in ‘Greater China’
This article offers a brief contour of the differing interests in, and engagements with, the study of globalization and global history in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It argues that in the face of the onrush of globalization, each of these three regions, under the rubric of ‘Greater China’, has developed and adopted distinct strategies to perceive and interpret its multifaceted impact. Scholars, movie makers and journalists in mainland C…
